Abstract

This paper describes a new methodology for modeling and simulating chemical reaction systems using vectors of chemo-bonds; called multi-chemo-bonds. Chemical reactions are usually described through mass flows alone. Yet in reality; they are convective flows; as the reactants carry their volume and heat with them in the reactions. Each combined mass/volume/heat flow can be described by a chemo-bond. The combination of all such flows can be described by a vector of chemo-bonds; i.e.; a multichemo-bond.
